Our guest this week is the man for all occasions, Peter Holsapple of the dB's, Continental Drifters and other acclaimed combos through the years. He also happens to be a family friend even before Jefferson connected with Laura, Ella, and Lila as Peter was in a band with their birth father Matt Brown that played children's events called "Baron Von Rumblebuss". Peter also played keys on our first album and our upcoming one "Lemon Drop Hammer".
